Created attachment 244648 [details] Patch file Currently commit message template hook is installed as following. * The one for src repository is also used for doc and ports. * The file is downloaded through web interface (https://cgit.freebsd.org/) and installed under .git/hooks. However, * Both doc and ports repositories have their own hooks inside them. So it is obviously better to use them than using the one for src repository. * For src repository committer need to download and install hook file each time it is updated. So change the way to install commit message template hook as following. * For doc and src repository, create symbolic link under '.git/hooks' that points to real hook file. * For ports repository. set the path to look for hooks to '.hooks'. This is because ports repository also provides some other hooks and creating symbolic link for each of them is bothersome.
